Extending the Power of Workday: Real-Time Data Sync with Twilio Segment
Workday is where organizations trust their most critical data to live; accurate, compliant, and connected across finance, HR, and operations. Yet, as businesses move faster and rely on countless other tools, leaders need more than accurate records. There’s a growing need for that same trusted data to flow instantly across their ecosystem. They need data that is always current and ready to power every decision, interaction, and experience.
That’s where Data Sync with Twilio Segment, a Built on Workday app, steps in, turning Workday’s reliable data into real-time action.
From Records to Real-Time Experiences
Workday captures vital signals: a new employee joining, a project reaching a milestone, a customer invoice being paid. Traditionally, those signals sit in Workday until someone manually shares or extracts them.
With Twilio Segment, those same signals can immediately trigger useful business actions across hundreds of connected tools:
Employee Experience: Automate onboarding workflows
A new hire in Workday instantly triggers a welcome campaign in Slack or email, enrolls them into onboarding systems, and provisions access to internal tools.
Finance & Operations: Keep customer and billing data current
A customer payment in Workday updates a CRM like Salesforce, which then triggers an automated “thank you” notification or adjusts account health scoring in real time.
Marketing & CX: Enable proactive client engagement
Workday project milestones flow into analytics dashboards and customer engagement tools, enabling proactive client updates or milestone-based campaigns.
All of this happens automatically through the app’s pre-configured sync settings, no middleware or coding required.
A Secure, Real-Time Connector Built in Workday
The Data Sync with Twilio Segment app acts as a secure connector, automatically syncing Workday data into Twilio Segment, which can then route it to the tools businesses already use.
The app provides:
Automated, real-time syncing of HR, finance, and project data.
Field-level control so business teams can choose exactly what data flows out.
Test and validation options to ensure accuracy before live syncing.
Error handling to keep processes smooth and reliable.
The result? Workday remains the trusted source of truth, while Twilio Segment ensures that data reaches the right destinations, securely and instantly. In other words, the data is no longer locked in Workday; it fuels timely, automated experiences across the enterprise.
